Unexpected Increase in Ar
: rivals Brings Congestion and
' Prices Tumble to 30 Cents a
v Dozen.
A severe UTeak was shown In egg mar.
kct prices along Kront street today.
.BeCt'lpta of eggs along the streot thl
.-, morning were the hcavleat of the pr?

In the wholeitalo dlatrlot Had plenty or

. late yesterday afternoon one of the prln-
clpal egg houses on the street, having
advices of big arrlvala to come thla
morning, aaliKout Ita entire holdings
then at 30c a (Wen because It w be-
lleved that thla would be the actual
' price thla morning.
The a-ueaa wn right, for tj egg mar
ket struck tOc with a single hound thla
morning. Indications are that lower
prices will prevail within the next day
or so unless there la a radical change
". In the situation.
Portland Highest Primary Market.
Portland la today the highest primary
market for eggs in the United States. In
California values are lower than here
for the same grade of stock, while in
the east valuea are materially lower. It
Is stated that a local house which had a
tin to offer eggs to a Bpokane concern,
sent them an offer at 32c a doxen, re
ceived back a letter stating that they
could and were buying egga at Kansas
points and after paying the express
charges were able to land them, at bpo-kane-st
a lower price than Portland was
then quoting.
With outnlde demand shut loff and
' with receipts here Increasing there was
notning ior me iwai iriuo i uu uui
to cut quotations. It is not likely that
much of a fight will hereafter be put
up by handlers of eastern stock, be
cause moat of them have unloaded the
greater portion of the surplus and there
fore have little Interest toward creating
an artificial value for the local product.

RUN OF SMELT GLUTS
v 'WHOLESALE MARKETS
So heavy have been the offerings of
smelt from the Cowlits river that the
local market broke as low aa 60c a lox
late yesterday afternoon but thla morn
ing went back to f 1 a box or 2c a pound.
The glut of fish was complete and
for awhile it was hard to sell the ar
rivals at any price. .
' "There was only a small catch ef
smelt in the Cowlits yesterday,'" says
Otis U. Hayes, a prominent fisher of
Kelso. "The river was crowded with
boats and they forced the fish back into
the Columbia. If the boats had allowed
' the fiah to get further up the Cowlltx
they never , would have turned back.
The present run is male fish, the female
not having arrived as yet"
It is stated that the Columbia river
Ms full of smelt at thla time, but the
low price makes fishing impossible, for
gillnetters will not venture out
. .
POULTRY PRICES IN
y A STRONG POSITION
Instead of showing weakness and
lower prices. It is now quite possible
that the market for chickens and, In
' fact, all poultry, will go to a new high
record In the near future.
. With the beginning of the laying sea
eon, poultry men will not send their
chickens to market and with the pres
ent scarcity, this would bring forth a
higher price. The only thing that the
' local market has to fear ia the Importa
tion of heavy supplies of dressed poul
try from the east
Ducks and geese are in especial heavy
demand from the Chinese at this time.
Portland t'nlon Stockyards. StOckdale.
f'eb. 8. The cattle market was steady
today with receipts very light. Only
2t0 head arrived In during the day and
these were consigned to northern points.
No arrivals of sheen - or hogs were
shown during the day, making the sec
ond, day without the arrival of swine
In the yards.
Hard to Oange Market
Bocausc of the verv light arrivals It
Is hard to guage the market and Its pos
sibilities. 1'rlce paid for cattle today
showed no change from the previous day
so far as quality was concerned.

New York. Feb. Wall atreet re
covered it nerve after the - opening of
the stock market, patted Itself on the
back and advanced prices, then became
frightened at the last few minutes of
the trade and panic atricken rushed to
unload whatever securities It : could.
Therefore the closing of the market
was generally lower, .
Onenlnr nrlcea for atocka were a
trifle weak, but this loss waa loon re
covered and most issues were selling
at a higher price than yesterday when
the trade took fright and began to
pour great blocks ot stocks on an un
willing market.
The big Interests were the ones prin
cipally affected by the extreme weak
ness toward the closing hour. Amal
gamated Copper gathered in a loss of
nearly 2 points from yesterday's price.
American Smelter lost a point and Ana
conda Mining point.
Weakness In the railroads was start
ed by the renewal of rumors that St
Paul intended to borrow enough money
to pay ita dividend. St Paul has bor
rowed considerable during the past two
years and therefore the trade did not
take kindly to the reports that art
now coming forward.
Union Pacific continues to be the tar
get of the bear forces who are Play
ing aaalnst the railroads and selllna-
of heavy blocks' this afternoon put that
security 1 points lower.
steel corporation shares were weak
and lost from to point.
some of the railroads recovered a
portion of yesterday's decline. Louis
ville t Nashville gained a point and
Rock Island common 1 points. South
ern Paclllc closed a fraction higher and
Erie and Great Northern i-acxi a half
point.
The stagnation in the bond market,
despite the ease of money and attrac
tiveness of various issues has been the
subject of adverse romment. Improve
ment In the demand for good bond is
sues will bo necessary before the stock
market can enjoy much of a recovery
but at present there are no indications
of a better, demand. ,
